Simply Business Club Code of Conduct & Member Guidelines
Welcome to Simply Business Club Networking Group! We’re thrilled to have you with us. Our goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where business owners and professionals can connect, collaborate, and grow. This Code of Conduct outlines what we stand for and the standards we expect from all members, whether engaging online, in person, or our official groups.
Our Core Values & Ethics
We are proudly committed to the five professional codes of ethics:
Integrity – Be honest and transparent in all your interactions.
Objectivity – Act fairly and without bias.

Anyone found engaging in unacceptable behaviour may be asked to stop and, if necessary, removed from the group or events at the discretion of the Simply Business Club team, without refund.
